Egusi with Efo
Egusi is a melon seeds. Efo is spinach (as far as I can tell). My sister's husband is Nigerian and cooks this all the time. I tried it for the first time today and it turned out yummy! You can find the recipe here: http://www.motherlandnigeria.com/recipes.html#egusi_efo
I also added some Bitter Leaf that my sister and brother-in-law gave me. I'd never heard of it before. Check it out: http://www.herbalremedies.com/bitterleaf-information.html
Oh, and I am pretty sure that Egusi seeds taste almost identical to good old pumpkin seeds. At least I can't tell the difference. I think it would be safe to substitute.
